Got my @PINE64 NAS setup with ZFS and running nicely.

The difficult part was getting spl-dkms to build (dep of zfs-dkms), which requires the instructions in this forum post: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/6789-build-zfs-on-rk3328/?do=findComment&comment=53681

This attitude of undermining local government that has overtaken many state (and even county) politicians aggravates me.

Not only is it trying to enact their will against the will of the local voters, but it is the same people who argue "state's rights" when the federal government does the same thing.

It is intellectually inconsistent and antidemocratic.

Was wearing my EFF J.P. Barlow memorial T-shirt the other day.

"Oh, I didn't know J.P. Barlow was dead!?!"
"I'm sorry you had to find out this way"

Saw "Spider-man: Away from Home" and the bad guys were a bunch of disgruntled engineers with some amazing technology. Had a hard time cheering against them.
